Commentary:

  • Made from the spores of the Club Moss. In nature the spores are very resistant to the environment but they are small and carried by the elements to all places. The person type to be treated is the same: they hide an inferiority complex, work very hard to compensate for perceived inadequacies. On the other hand they can be bullies to those under them while subservient to those in command. Overeating of sweets can lead to stomach and liver complaints.
  • Homeopathically the contrary of Lachesis
